KZ750 cafe racer finished
27 Aug 2009 09:47
Hey everyone,
My name is Bubba and I thought you guys might like this.
Here is my newest cafe racer that I just finished building. You can find the step by step build here www.facebook.com/home.php#/album.php?aid=99745&id=604231539 if you are interested otherwise here is the final product. Everything is hand made here the only thing I bought for it was the tank from a 69 bmw/5. Otherwise the seat and rear section, clipons were all made by me. An interesting note is that the rear tail section was made from a 1947 beaver airplane propeller cover I found at the local aiport in the garbage and turned into this.. Hope you guys like it. Of course any comments questions are welcome.

Very nice! I like the rear cowl on that. I am curious how the lowered front end effects the handling, also what did you use to make the clip ons?

Twins were made for cafe'ing. Everyone should have a lil' beaver on their bike. Just remember Ward not to be too hard on the lil'beaver tonight! Nice job! :pinch: :whistle:

Looks cool, is it a blast to ride? The tank and tail look as they were made for the bike. That tag would be a reason to get the flashing blues in the mirrors here in Florida. That would not pertain to you as you have NO mirrors. I could'nt see the build as I am not tech savy enough to do facebook. Great job.

That is fricken sweet!!! Love it. Very nice work. Love the stance.
Is that prop cover made of aluminum? Very cool idea and quite the conversation piece I bet.
